I must confess that when I first saw this jar, I thought the manufacturers at Clarins had made a mistake. The frothy, whipped, dolloped-like mousse was WHITE. Who knew what put this in my mind, but I had a preconception that all self-tanning mousses, creams, liquids and potions had to have that earthy, bronzy color? Clarins Self Tanning Mousse Clarins Self Tanning Mousse This white mousse has a creamy dessert, Banana Pie-like texture and gives you a beautiful tan without you ever looking like you went to a streak show. The fragrance is divine (fruity with a touch of almond), and it’s married to an oil called Mirabelle Oil (this comes from a small golden fruit that’s fatty-acid rich). Plus it has SPF 15. The ladies at the Clarins Skin Spa last evening showed us how to properly apply the Mousse: 1. You must exfoliate first, especially on the day you apply the mousse, taking care to remove the exfoliant with mitts or a wash cloth. Clarins Skin Spa Exfoliate Clarins Skin Spa Exfoliate 2. Then apply a moisturizing cream to hydrate and prep, taking care to pay special attention to your ankles and knees (you don’t want your knees to look extra “earthy” do you? Moisturizing those areas will help the color go evenly all over).

Alice in Wonderland Organix Shampoo With its talking rabbits, mystical creatures, and fire-breathing dragons, Disney's Alice in Wonderland truly transports you into a fairytale state of mind. The film was directed by Tim Burton, a true visual artist, who is known most famously for his films Edward Scissorhands, Beetle Juice and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. All of his movies feature stunning graphics and effects that are unlike any other. Alice in Wonderland sparks Burton's seventh movie collaboration with actor Johnny Depp, who is amazing as The Mad Hatter in this film. But when is Johnny Depp not amazing? Full of vividly bright colors and wildly fantastic scenery, Alice in Wonderland will have you wondering if you've fallen down that rabbit hole. Organix Alice in Wonderland Inspired Cherry Blossom Ginseng In keeping with the imaginative theme of the movie, Organix has created the Rejuvenating Cherry Blossom Ginseng Shampoo and a complementing Conditioner. Organix, the fast growing hair care brand, is known for their innovative ingredients and sensual flavors. This shampoo and conditioner duo is a blend of cherry blossom extracts, Asian ginseng root, rice milk and bamboo extracts that promise to add volume to the roots while adding hydration and shine. I ran home to test out the products after I saw the movie and I am loving the results. And an added bonus: my hair smells incredible! The hair styling in the movie featured loose, flowing curls full of shine and body which was a perfect compliment to the ethereal feel of this film.

With its intense eye shadow pigments, theatre style false lashes and rich lip colors, the looks are bold and beautifully dramatic. At Illamasqua.com, you'll find clear and in depth makeup tutorials from the artists behind the brand. The collections, including Noir, Fantasy and Porcelain Doll have an amazing theatrical quality. Browse the videos and see step-by-step how to achieve these looks or simply learn how to do basic makeup applications like applying false lashes or creating the perfect red lip. Illamasqua Porcelain Doll The Porcelain Doll Collection features intense and accentuated eyes and lips. And don't forget those va-va-voom lashes! Apply the smooth Matt Foundation Primer to prep for an amazingly flawless foundation and conceal dark circles with the Under Eye Concealer (two of their bestsellers!). One of the key products used is the Pure Pigment powder in Furore, a peach champagne color that can be used not only for the eyes, but as a highlighter for cheeks and brows. Pure Pigment can be combined with blush and eyeshadow or worn on its own to accent and highlight. To achieve that perfect pout, apply lipstick in Corrupt. The color-rich lipstick is creamy and goes on so smooth it lasts well into the day and night. For added drama, complete the look with a layer of lipgloss in Tantrum. This deep violet shade adds just the right amount of sheen to your lips. You can also wear it alone for a sheer glossy look.
